News from Eisenhower Medical Center

Mohammad Mojard M.D.

Having suffered
from
asthma as a child,
Dr. Mohammad
“Mo” Mojarad
knew he wanted to
one day help others
suffering like himself. He even
dreamed of finding a cure for the disease.
While he has yet to do that, by
becoming a pulmonary specialist, Dr.
Mojarad found a fulfilling way to
improve the quality of life for lung disease
patients.

“Helping other people gives me satisfaction,”
he says. “When I see their
improvement, that’s the best gratification
I can get.”

When asked about the most important
quality a doctor can possess, a
smiling Mojarad says, “compassion.”

“It impacts the way we understand
patients and address their issues,” he
says. “It may seem that in today’s health
care system there’s not enough time;
but we need to make the time and
relate to patients as people, so they
know we care and are concerned.”

A 17-year veteran at Eisenhower
Medical Center, Dr.Mojarad serves as
President of the Medical Staff and has
just as much to be proud of in his personal
life as he does in his profession.
The 58-year-old doctor has been married
for 21 years to his wife Donna,
who also works at Eisenhower
Medical Center as a registered nurse.
The couple has two children.

When he’s not busy with patients,
Dr. Mojarad can be found playing tennis,
listening to classical music or horseback
riding at the Ivy Ranch in Thousand
Palms, a great hobby he enjoys
with his family on a regular basis.
